> It is a particularly interesting position when the US is trying to counter China.

The US put countering China way behind on its priority list, below "owning the libs" and settling old scores. I am convinced that if the Iran decapitation had worked like Venezuela, which seems to have been what they expected, then Cuba would have been next.

I am surprised the USA has not attacked Cuba yet. I am guessing the rundown on missile stocks has eliminated the possibility of a 100 percent air/navy campaign like they failed at in Iran.

It is unfortunately that the choices didn't have counter China in the list. It was status quo or trump. I wasn't happy with either option there.

Cuba doesn't have oil.

The point is to prop up Putin.

If the goal of a presidency was to destroy the country one could not do a better job than trump.
